Description	Healthcare services - Ellis is a community and teaching hospital with 438 certified beds (of which 349 were staffed in 2011) across three hospital campuses, including 52 inpatient mental health beds (see 4B below). The hospital is overseen by a volunteer Board of Trustees from the community. Ellis is the sole provider of acute hospital care in Schenectady County, following a state-mandated restructuring which resulted in consolidation of three hospitals into one in 2007-2008. Ellis balances state-of-the-art technology and advanced medical procedures with a tradition of community-based caring and a firm committment to quality. Ellis has earned numerous recognitions for clinical excellence and community service. Ellis is a "Top 50 Cardiovascular Hospital for 2011" as rated by Thomson Reuters. From 2007 through 2011, Ellis has received recognition from the American Stroke Association (ASA) through the ASA's Gold and Gold Plus Achievement awards. Ellis is recognized for using the ASA's "Get with the Guidelines" program for improving the quality care and patient outcomes. Ellis is also a designated Stroke Center by the New York State Department of Health. The hospital is also a designated "Center of Excellence" by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. In addition, the Sleep Disorders Center is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the Ellis Belanger School of Nursing is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, the Family Medicine Residency is accredited by both the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Osteopathic Association; and the Ellis Medicine Glenville Health, Family Practice Associates and Family Health Center all achieved National Commission on Quality Assurance (NCQA) "Patient-Centered Medical Home" certification. During 2011 and 2010, Ellis received community service awards from: the City Mission of Schenectady ("Partners Award," specifically recognizing the hospital's free community shuttle, health service navigators, and other services for the underserved), the Schenectady ARC ("Employer of the Year," recognizing the hospital for providing employment, with opportunities for growth and meaningful experience, to individuals with developmental disabilities), the Sight Society of Northeastern New York ("Hospital of the Year" for commitment and compassion to grieving families along with outstanding accomplishments and best practices use to facilitate cornea donations), and the Goose Hill Neighborhood Association ("Community Award" for being a good neighbor and proactive communicator).Ellis operates two Emergency Departments which had 85,978 visits in 2011, the Bellevue Woman's Care Center which delivered 2,483 babies in 2011, four primary care practices (in Schenectady (2), Glenville, and Latham), an 82-bed skilled nursing facility and short-stay rehabilitation facility, two off-site blood draw stations, two Bariatric Care locations, a Sleep Disorders Center, a Wound Care Center, a Family Medicine Residency including Osteopathic Residency, a General Dental Residency, and a School of Nursing. Residents enrolled in the Family Medical Residency and the General Dental Residency provide primary and dental care to patients, the majority of whom are uninsured or are patients in government programs such as Medicaid, Family Health Plus, and Child Health Plus through three clinics located at the Ellis Health Center: the Family Health Center, the Pediatric Health Center, and the Dental Health Center. Ellis is also the sole sponsor of the Visiting Nurse Service of Schenectady and Saratoga Counties (VNS), a not-for-profit home health care agency which is the only State-licensed provider of home health care services to the general population in Schenectady County.The Ellis Belanger School of Nursing prepares students for licensure as professional Registered Nurses. Ninety-five percent of the school's graduates passed the New York State nursing licensure examination in 2011. Total enrollment in October 2011 was 120 students. The graduates in the class of 2011 (combined day and evening/weekend programs) were 39, of which 27 joined the nursing staff at Ellis.Ellis serves the community by addressing identified health care priorities, including access to care and prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, through a variety of programs. Identification of needs includes such mechanisms as the State-mandated three-year Community Service Plan (the 2010-2012 plan was filed in September 2009 and updated in September 2011), the Healthy Capital District Initiative (HCDI) (a three-county health data collection and planning entity which brings together county health departments, hospitals, FQHCs, and not-for-profit insurers), and the Schenectady County Strategic Alliance for Health (a federally-designated and funded collaborative focused on preventing chronic disease and promoting community health). Ellis also collaborates with the Schenectady County Public Health Service, such as cooperation in identifying the health care needs of Schenectady's Indo-Guyanese (West Indian) population through a federal REACH grant. Needs are addressed by such programs as: the Medical Home, an innovative community collaboration which centralizes primary care and outpatient health and community services in one location at the Ellis Health Center campus, featuring health services navigators and a community service navigator, a free community shuttle van, and community-focused programs such as a combined kindergarten registration and immunization event; the Wright Heart Center, which offers complete cardiac care and which has partnered with local volunteer ambulance corps to improve response times through installation of advanced EKG equipment on ambulances and location of AEDs at community sites such as recreation fields, and which also participated with IPRO in a three-year project funded by CMS to evaluate the transition of patients for each level of care and make improvements to reduce hospital readmissions; the Stroke Center, which is the region's most comprehensive source for stroke education; and the Ellis Center for Diabetes, which helps children and adults with diabetes improve their quality of life through education and support, including the area's only summer day camp for children with type 1 diabetes which provides full-tuition scholarships for low-income children.As the only provider of maternity care in Schenectady County, Ellis has centralized services at the Bellevue Woman's Care Center. Bellevue has 55 beds (certified and staffed) including a 15-bed neonatal intensive care unit, one of only three ICUs in the area specializing in the care of premature and low birth weight infants. Ellis instituted the area's first Ob/Gyn hospitalist program, aimed at enhancing patient care and safety. Through this program, a hospital-employed board-certified Ob/Gyn physician is on-site at Bellevue 24/7, ready to provide emergency obstetrical care or deliveries in the event a patient's private physician is unavailable. Ellis has also committed to a substantial upgrade of the physical facilities at Bellevue, with a $15 million project started in 2012. Ellis counted 18,591 inpatient discharges and 539,147 outpatient visit during 2011. In pursuing its mission, the hospital provides services to anyone who walks through its' doors, regardless of their ability to pay. The level of charity care, measured on the basis of established costs, was approximately $6,894,365 in 2011. Ellis has granted discounted rates to all uninsured patients, without requiring evidence of ability to pay, since November 2009.	Description

Description	Ellis operates a 52-bed (certified and staffed) inpatient mental health unit and expanded outpatient services. This is the only inpatient mental health facility in Schenectady County, and one of only two inpatient units in a 16-county region providing services to adolescents. Ellis' mental health services include: inpatient care for adults and adolescents; outpatient child, adolescent, and adult mental health services; crisis intervention, including a 24-hour crisis information hotline; a peer advocacy program; and a support and education group for those suffering from schizophrenia and other major disorders and their families. In response to a nationally-studied "Schenectady suicide cluster" of teenage African-American females, Ellis moved the outpatient child and adolescent mental health clinic to substantially expanded facilities at the Ellis Health Center, where it is co-located with an office of the Schenectady City School District and the hospital's Medical Home. As part of a multi-agency adolescent suicide response team, and in order to accommodate increased service needs as identified by the School District, Ellis opened the expanded facility in advance of final State Health Department architectural approval for the physical move from one location to another and, hence, did not qualify to receive Medicaid reimbursement for services rendered during 2010 and 2011 at this location. Medicaid patients, as well as those unable to pay, were treated at no charge. In 2011, the mental health programs had 16,905 inpatient days and 55,016 outpatient visits.	Description

Description	Long Term Care - 2011 was the first full year that the Ellis Residential and Rehabilitation Center, an 82-bed skilled nursing facility and short-stay rehabilitation facility specializing in medically complex cases, operated from its renovated facility on the Ellis Health Center campus. The new facility provides residents with more private rooms and such amenities as a cyber-center, a larger hair salon, and a roof-top garden. Inpatient days for 2011 were 28,880. The relocation freed up two floors at Ellis Hospital which, while now used for clinical and administrative offices, could be made available for surge capacity in the event of a community disaster or epidemic.

Part VI - Additional Information	Part VI, Line 7-In accordance with NYS regulations, Ellis follows a triennial community service plan, along with annual updates.
Part VI - Affilated Health Care System Roles and Promotion	Not Applicable
Part VI - Explanation Of How Organization Furthers Its Exempt Purpose	Ellis Medicine furthers its exempt purpose by promoting the health of the community through:1. A volunteer Board of Trustees that is comprised of community members, medical staff members and hospital administrators who serve three year terms, up to a three term maximum. Currently, the Ellis Board is comprised of 22 trustees - 17 non-physician citizens of the community, four physicians, and one senior hospital administrator (the hospital's President and CEO). Ellis does not have a parent corporation.2. An open medical staff consisting of approximately 700 affiliated physicians. Medical privileges at Ellis Hospital are available to all qualified physicians in the area. Approximately 150 of these physicians are employed by Ellis, including 30 residents participating in the Family Medicine Residency and three in the General Dental Residency. Ellis' medical staff is led by a Medical-Dental Executive Committee (MDEC). The MDEC plays an integral part in the hospital's corporate structure and daily operations. The MDEC and the department chairs, who oversee specific clinical services, work collaboratively with the hospital's volunteer Board of Trustees, administrators, and staff to ensure the highest quality of care is delivered to patients and that the community's healthcare needs are met with excellence. Physicians also serve as members of the hospital's Board of Trustees, and they are directly involved in the hospital's annual budget process: they rank and prioritize all capital items in the hospital's capital budget and they sign off on volume projections for the hospital's annual operating budget.3. Operation of two, full service, fully staffed emergency rooms on two separate campuses, both of which are open 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week, 365 days-a-year. Ellis' emergency rooms care for all those in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay. Similarly, Ellis Hospital's admission policy is not restrictive. Ellis does not deny admission to any patient based on his/her ability to pay. 4. The work of The Foundation for Ellis Medicine, a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt charitable organization whose sole purpose is to encourage philanthropic support for Ellis Hospital. The Ellis Hospital Foundation was established in 1982 and is governed by a separate board of trustees. Funds raised through the Foundation's activities are used to assist the hospital in acquiring state-of-the-art medical equipment and support a wide range of health care programs and services. 5. Reinvesting its surplus funds to expand/replace/modernize its facilities and medical equipment; support programs/activities aimed at improving quality of care and patient safety; train and educate its medical and nursing staffs; and to improve the overall delivery of and accessibility to health care services in the community.Ellis Medicine demonstrates leadership as a charitable institution by organizing and participating in communitywide efforts for the needy; reaching out to the underserved to provide needed primary and preventative healthcare services and health education, especially through its Medical Home; attracting and using funds to serve the needy; participating in Medicaid and other federal, state, and local healthcare reimbursement programs for the needy such as Child Health Plus; and formally planning for and providing charity care and maintaining a policy of administering care to all persons in need.Ellis Medicine provides essential healthcare services by cooperating with other community healthcare providers to maximize the meeting of essential community health needs; rendering healthcare services and educational services that are specifically designed to meet assessed community needs and improving community health status; and operating two 24 hour, 7 day-a-week Emergency Departments that cares for anyone who walks through its doors in need of emergency care, regardless of one's ability to pay.Ellis Medicine is accountable to the community by having a volunteer governing board comprised of members of the Schenectady community; inviting and responding to community input and involvement in planning and review of hospital activities; voluntarily disclosing information to the public on hospital services, financial status, community benefit activities and charity care; and advocating for healthcare cost containment and promoting the efficient use of healthcare resources within the community.
Part VI - Community Building Activities	Ellis Medicine (the trade name for Ellis Hospital) successfully restructured healthcare services in its community following the New York State-mandated hospital consolidation in 2008, and has since been working to align its innovative approaches to community health with the full array of services provided by other local community-based public and not-for-profit organizations. Ellis is now the sole acute care hospital in Schenectady County, and is one of the largest primary care providers, having assumed responsibility for the services of two former hospitals which closed during this State-driven "rightsizing" process. In this important role, Ellis has worked tirelessly to engage the community and to develop coalitions with community partners in order to ensure access to a full range of healthcare services, with special attention paid to disadvantaged members of our community. Ellis has undertaken and is planning a number of significant capital projects to consolidate care, enhance access to care and improve the overall quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of our local healthcare system. One of Ellis Medicine's key community building activities is its innovative Medical Home, which is a central location for primary care and outpatient services on a single campus aimed at improving access to healthcare, especially among the uninsured and underinsured. The Ellis Medical Home offers primary care (adult and pediatric), dental care, outpatient child/adolescent mental health services, diabetes education, and emergency services along with a number of outpatient services such as medical imaging, laboratory, a sleep disorders center, wound care, and day surgery. The Medical Home features specially trained Health Services Navigators, one an Ellis employee and the other contracted from Schenectady County Public Health Services, and a Community Services Navigator, a counselor employed by the local community action agency, who help patients connect to the healthcare and social services programs they need, including Medicaid facilitated enrollment services, and a free Community Shuttle which provides transportation from a number of community sites including homeless shelters and soup kitchens to the healthcare campus. The Medical Home is an effective partnership among Ellis Medicine and numerous community groups, including the Schenectady Community Action Program, the Salvation Army, the City Mission, YWCA, YMCA, Schenectady City School District, and Schenectady County Public Health Services, among other social service and community agencies.The success of the Medical Home in building community coalitions helped lead to a successful application by a community partnership for designation by the New York State Department of Health as one of the first three upstate Medicaid Health Homes. The Health Home program, which was established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 and conforming State law, is intended to provide a comprehensive array of healthcare and community support services to Medicaid patients with designated high-cost conditions. New York State has chosen to initially focus on patients with multiple chronic conditions, behavioral health issues, and/or HIV/AIDS. A coalition of 42 healthcare and community agencies led by Ellis, the Visiting Nurse Service of Schenectady and Saratoga Counties, Inc., and Hometown Health (the Schenectady FQHC) will be providing comprehensive care management services to high risk Medicaid patients in Schenectady County.Another example of Ellis' coalition building activities is its participation in the Schenectady County Public Health Services' federally funded Strategic Alliance for Health (SAH), which brings together a host of healthcare and community organizations to address chronic disease and to promote disease prevention and wellness. An Ellis representative participates in regular meetings of the SAH board. During 2011, Ellis worked with the SAH to implement a highly visible "healthy foods" initiative in the Ellis public cafeteria.Ellis also works closely with the Schenectady County Public Health Services and the Healthy Capital District Initiative (HCDI) to assess community needs and to develop the State-required community service plan to identify health priorities. (These activities are described further on Line 2.)Additionally, Ellis partners with a number of community partners, such as the American Cancer Society and the YWCA, to provide health screenings to uninsured and underinsured populations in our service area. Although in 2011 the mobile mammography van was retired due to the high cost of required repairs, Ellis runs special events to host groups from rural and underserved areas for screenings. Ellis provides rent-free space and other in-kind support for the State-sponsored Schenectady County Cancer Services Program. In collaboration with community partners, Ellis offers outpatient smoking cessation courses and sponsors peer-driven mental health and cancer patient support groups. And, acting in collaboration with the Schenectady County Planning Department and the Cooperative Extension, during 2011 Ellis hosted a weekly Farmers' Market in the parking lot of the Ellis Health Center during the summer months.Medical residents from the Ellis Family Medicine Residency donate their time and expertise to staff two free community-based medical clinics. A weekly clinic at the Schenectady City Mission serves uninsured, homeless individuals in the City of Schenectady. And a rural seasonal clinic provides care to uninsured migrant workers in collaboration with the Columbia County Department of Health.Ellis staff members also sit on numerous community boards and healthcare coalitions to target improvements in such areas as diabetes, long term care, cancer, hospital readmission rates, and healthy living.Ellis is an active and results-driven member of H2E: Hospitals for a Healthy Environment, a program to eliminate mercury, reduce waste and pollution and to improve utilization of environmentally friendly products and vendors. Additionally, Ellis staffs a Green Team that works to promote recycling and other eco-friendly practices throughout the organization.
Part VI - Community Information	In accordance with industry standards, Ellis Hospital's community is defined as the hospital's Primary and Secondary Service Areas, accounting for 80% of the hospital's discharge volume. These include all or portions of Schenectady, Saratoga, Albany, Fulton, and Montgomery counties and are comprised of 22 zip codes. Since the State-mandated consolidation of Schenectady's hospitals, Ellis has become the sole provider of acute hospital care in Schenectady County, and it is the largest hospital within its Service Areas.The Primary Service Area is focused on the City of Schenectady, an older industrial city with a population of about 60,000, a substantial decline from the 1940 high of over 90,000. According to the City of Schenectady's "2010-2014 Consolidated Plan," 67% of households in the city are considered low or moderate income, while the poverty rate in the Hamilton Hill neighborhood, adjacent to Ellis Hospital, is over 28%. Nearly all (95%) of the City's housing stock was built before 1978, and Schenectady neighborhoods have been identified as having among the highest concentration of elevated blood levels for lead in New York State.An impact of the level of poverty in the City of Schenectady has been the extent to which Ellis' patients are either covered by government health programs or are uninsured. During 2011, Medicare patients accounted for 41.7% of inpatient discharges, 28.7% of outpatient visits, and 34.7% of net patient revenues. Medicaid covered 21.9% of inpatient discharges, 26.7% of outpatient visits, and 18.1% of net patient revenues. Uninsured patients accounted for 2.9% of inpatient discharges and 5.8% of outpatient visits. Overall, uninsured or government insured patients made up 66.5% of inpatient discharges and 61.2% of outpatient visits, while generating 54.5% of net patient revenues before bad debts.There is one Medically Underserved Population (MUP) within Ellis' Primary Service Area. The homebound population of Schenectady County is designated MUP 06211. In response, at least three physicians on the staff of the Ellis Family Health Center make house calls, and residents in the hospital's Family Medicine Residency may include house calls in their training. The Secondary Service Area is a much wider geographic area, including rural and farming communities, as well as affluent suburbs. Overall, the combined Service Areas represent a study in contrasts. An equal number of people have incomes below $25,000 as above $100,000 (20%). Health status variations are similarly dramatic. For example, the rates of asthma-related hospital admissions per 10,000 people vary from 423 in the 12307 ZIP code to 54 in the 12309 ZIP code, a distance of about five miles.Overall Census data for the combined Service Areas for 2011 estimate a total population of 351,828. This is projected to increase to 357,855 by 2016. The 2011 average (mean) income was $69,824. The gender distribution is 49% male and 51% female. The area is fairly well educated, with 31% of the population having a bachelors degree or more. There will, however, likely be increased need for healthcare services as the community ages. The greatest change in population from 2011 to 2016 is expected to be in the over 55 age range (3% increase), while decreases are expected in the number of children aged 0-17 (0.8%) and in adults in the 35-54 age range (2.9%).
Part VI - Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance	Ellis Medicine provides financial assistance information about programs available to assist patients in paying for their bills, including discount programs and charity care, on its external website (www.ellismedicine.org), in readily available and publicly distributed brochures, and through flyers and posters visible throughout the organization. Applications for financial assistance are available online at the Ellis website. Additionally, Ellis employs Financial Advocates who assist patients in determining the availability of and their eligibility for free or low-cost care, and then assist them with completing the necessary paperwork. Since 2009, Ellis Medicine has included affirmative financial assistance outreach as part of the innovative Medical Home through which it aims to increase access to care and provide healthcare navigation services to patients (especially the underserved and uninsured/underinsured), including education about and assistance with charity care and financial assistance services.Additionally, Ellis publicizes its Financial Call Center & Information Line (sharing with our 3,300 employees; our local, state and federal lawmakers' offices in case they receive constituent inquiries related to hospital costs and/or financial services at Ellis; and the general public), highlighting a number to call (518-243-1695) through which patients can receive information about how much their care will cost at Ellis Medicine as a way to be transparent and helpful in providing this information, as more and more patients are paying higher deductibles and are concerned about the cost to them out-of-pocket. This is particularly significant in Ellis' Primary Service Area, as the largest local employer has converted to a high-deductible health insurance plan for most of its employees.Ellis has also participated in health fairs and employer information functions to advise small businesses and their employees of Ellis' Financial Call Center & Information Line. Ellis' Call Center has trained specialists who can help enroll qualifying patients in Financial Assistance programs, estimate a patient's out-of-pocket expenses based on their medical plan, provide pricing for procedures and tests at Ellis Medicine and assist patients in completing Medicaid applications when applicable. Ellis' Information Line helps with physician referrals, scheduling outpatient testing and providing general information about programs and services at Ellis Medicine.
Part VI - Needs Assessment	Ellis Medicine assesses the healthcare needs of its community through analysis of federal, State and local healthcare data, through collaboration with healthcare and community partners, and through the engagement of the public in meetings and surveys. As with all hospitals in New York State, Ellis files a three-year Community Service Plan with the New York State Department of Health, along with annual Plan Updates. Ellis has begun working with community partners in preparation for Community Health Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan reporting which will be required for the tax year 2013. Ellis participates as a dues-paying member of the Healthy Capital District Initiative (HCDI), a State-recognized regional health planning and research agency. HCDI members include county health departments from New York's Capital Region (Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer Counties), local hospitals, health insurance companies, and other healthcare and community partners. HCDI coordinates regional needs assessments and collaborative responses to identified service gaps. An Ellis representative attends bi-monthly meetings of the HCDI Board, and Ellis has provided staff expertise for various workgroups.In November 2011, as part of the State's HEAL-9 initiative, HCDI published a report on an intensive study of Emergency Department (ED) utilization in the three-county region. Ellis participated by distributing HCDI's surveys to patients in both Emergency Departments, and by assigning staff to work on several HCDI workgroups. The analysis found that nearly half of ED visits could have been treated in a primary care setting or prevented by appropriate primary care, and also found that an unusually large share of Ellis' ED visits were by uninsured patients as compared with other hospitals in the area. In response, Ellis has increased efforts to make primary care services available in Schenectady, and has met with Schenectady County officials and community organizations to develop ways to encourage uninsured patients to obtain Medicaid coverage. Between 2009 and 2011, patient visits to the Ellis Family Health Center, a primary care clinic which largely serves uninsured and Medicaid patients, increased by 22%.HCDI continued to make available to the public the 2009 Community Health Profile through which multiple data sources were analyzed to identify and rank the top health concerns in Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer Counties. As part of this process, a public health forum, "How Healthy Is the Capital District?" was held in spring 2009 at a local television station, allowing audience and call-in participation during the hour-long broadcast. Additionally, a public survey of community members was also administered. Of the more than 1,100 community members surveyed, 41.6% of respondents resided in Schenectady County. The main issues covered by the survey included access to care, health insurance coverage, barriers to healthcare, Emergency Department utilization, and chronic disease experiences.In addition to this Capital Region-wide effort, Ellis works with Schenectady County Public Health Services to identify health priorities and strategies to address them. From this process, Ellis produces a Community Service Plan and the County Health Department produces its Community Health Assessment. In accordance with New York State law, Ellis filed a three year (2010-2012) Community Service Plan with the State Department of Health in September 2009, and then filed annual updates to the Plan in September 2010 and September 2011. Following review, the State Department of Health accepted Ellis' 2011 update without requiring any revisions.Finally, Ellis holds regular meetings in the community and has engaged the Siena Research Institute to conduct public surveys regarding local health concerns and priorities. During 2011, Ellis conducted seven community outreach meetings between community groups, such as neighborhood associations and senior citizens organizations, and Ellis executives. In addition, the CEO met with the Mayor and Council of the City of Schenectady. Ellis received the results of a "Siena Survey" conducted in late 2010 to assess community satisfaction with overall healthcare services and with specialty care services. The survey, the fourth since 2008, found that 79% of Schenectady residents are "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the overall healthcare system in the community. The largest categories of service for which patients travel outside the community are oncology (26%) and general surgery (24%). The results of these surveys and the public input via community meetings provide feedback from the general public about hospital services/health needs/health concerns. Ellis also holds regular meetings with employees and physicians, and administers annual satisfaction surveys to its employees and physicians.
Part V, Line 19d - Other Billing Determination of Individuals Without Insurance	All uninsured patients are automatically eligible for a reduction of charges to the reimbursement rate from Ellis' highest volume health maintenance organization.Uninsured patients with incomes at or below 200% FPG are eligible to receive charity (free) care.	Number of Hospital Faciltiy - 0
Part III, Line 9b - Provisions On Collection Practices For Qualified Patients	Ellis Hospital does not use presumptive eligibility for charity care. All patients eligible for charity care must submit an application which is then reviewed by Ellis to verify charity care eligibility. Without a submitted application, charity care is not approved and patients are subject to routine collection efforts as outlined in Ellis' collection policies. However, once approved for charity care, patients balances are eliminated and no collection efforts take place.
Part III, Line 8 - Explanation Of Shortfall As Community Benefit	The costing methodology used to determine Medicare allowable cost reported on Part III, Line 6 is the ratio of costs to charges. Consistent with the charitable healthcare mission of Ellis Hospital, Ellis provides care for all patients covered by Medicare who seek medical care. Such care is provided regardless of whether the reimbursement provided for such services meets or exceeds the costs incurred by Ellis to privide such services. As a rsult, Ellis views any shortfall reported in Line 7 as an additional item of community benefit provided by the organization.
Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt Expense	The costing methodology used in determining the amounts reported on Part III, Section A, lines 2 and 3, is Ellis' cost to charge ratio.The following footnote relating to bad debt expense is included in the audited financial statements:Ellis Hospital grants credit without collateral to patients, most of which are local residents and are insured under third-party payor agreements. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made by means of the provision for bad debts. Accounts written off as uncollectable are deducted from the allowance. The amount of the provision for bad debts is based upon management's assessment of historical expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in Federal and State government health care coverage, and other collection indicators. Services rendered to individuals when payment is expected and ultimately not received are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Bad Debt Expense included on form 990, Part IX, line 25, column (A) but removed from the percent of expense on Schedule H, line 7 a through k, column (f) was $16,990,182.
Part I, Line 3c - Charity Care Eligibility Criteria (FPG Is Not Used)	All uninsured patients are automatically eligible for a reduction of charges to the reimbursement rate from Ellis' highest volume health maintenance organization. Uninsured patients with incomes at or below 200% FPG are eligible to receive charity (free) care.

Explanation	The School of Nursing (SON) works with the office of the Vice President for Nursing and the Ellis Hospital Foundation to track awards and to assure that the grants and monies are used for the intended purpose. It is the responsibility of the Ellis Finance Department to release the funds and account for the remaining balance. In the case of the Auer Scholarship, the faculty interviews the potential recipients and makes a recommendation (in rank order) of who should receive the scholarship. The Director of the SON meets with the VP for Nursing and they make a decision on how many scholarships to award to the top candidates. The Finance Department then credits the student tuition receivable account and draws the money from the Scholarship fund. There are scholarship monies that community organizations give. The organizations either send a check or hand it to the student at commencement.	Explanation
